Won't rest till I get justice: Sona
CHENNAI: Kollywood actress Sona, who had lodged a complaint saying singer-cum-producer S P Charan misbehaved with her at a recent party, has vowed to continue her struggle till the end. "I will not rest till I get justice," she declared on Monday. Talking exclusively to TOI, she said, "Why should I prefer to choose this way for cheap publicity? I have some dignity. Charan abused me and treated me very badly, forcing me to lodge a complaint against him. It was an indoor party for selected people to which I was called by producer Venkat Prabhu and actor Premji. The duo have denied this but it is true. I have handed over my mobile to the police to help check my claim." The actress said she would stage a protest in front of Charan's house as her 10-day ultimatum asking him to publicly apologize for the act had ended. "My mind has been in turmoil for the past 10 days," she said. Sona added: "I met the assistant commissioner of police (T Nagar) on Monday evening and showed the clippings in the VCD. He promised to take action in the case."The Jhansi Rani Women and Children Activists Association, which had planned a protest in front of the actor's house, decided to put it on hold.
"We were asked to meet T Nagar assistant commissioner of police S Tamil Selvan and postponed the protest," its president, S Kalpana, said.Based on Sona's complaint, the police had registered a case under various IPC Sections, including molesting, against Charan. In her complaint, she said that at a party at actor Vaibhav's house, Charan molested her under the influence of alcohol.
